Monsignor Giuseppe Farrugia : his life and achievements

Abstract

Edited by Prof. Maria Frendo, this book is the first serious study on eminent son of Gozo, Mgr Giuseppe Farrugia (1852-1925), on the first centenary of his passing. He was Dean of the Gozo Cathedral, Rector at the Gozo Seminary, Librarian of the Gozo National Library, theologian, linguist, orator, musician, designer, and more. A polymath and a genius, his name was, and still is, a by-word for excellence, perfection and vision. This thoroughly researched study on the life and work of Mgr Farrugia places him at the forefront of the social and cultural milieu of his time and beyond. It is a publication that will further enrich Melitensia studies.
